Raiders of the Lost Art
Art can be very valuable and, thus, eyed by people looking to acquire pieces of artwork by nefarious means to sell. This show views investigations of notable art thefts through the eyes of detectives and forensics analysts tasked with locating missing masterpieces. Each episode focuses on one infamous theft or related mystery, using archival footage and re-enactments to illustrate how the piece disappeared and -- in many cases -- was recovered. Highlights are the 1911 theft of the "Mona Lisa," a trove of treasures stolen by the Nazis, and Fabergé eggs missing since the Russian Revolution.
S2, EP12 "Capturing Cezanne"
One of the great post-Impressionistic works, Cezanne's "Boy in the Red Vest" was stolen in 2008, but was recovered recently in Serbia.
S2, EP11 "Vermeer: The Lost Pearl of Delft"
Johannes Vermeer was all but forgotten for centuries and this iconic work lay dormant, overlooked before it was rediscovered.
S2, EP10 "Van Gogh's Seven Sunflowers"
Painted for the arrival of Paul Gaugin in Arles, this set of paintings by Vincent Van Gogh has gone on an astonishing journey ever since.
S2, EP9 "Turner: Leading Light"
Turner showed his brilliance with this dazzling work; it was stolen in Frankfurt in 1998 and was bought back from the thieves in a curious deal.
